How Flash Flood Cleanup Works in Carlton

Drying equipment controls moisture after the Category 3 cleanup. Mold can grow in 24 to 48 hours if building materials stay wet.

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   A crew identifies the floodwater path, sediment and wet rooms to shape the first work plan.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final set of material measurements helps determine when rebuilding can begin.
